DENVER, Col, Aug. 16-A battle between
the Utes and Sheriff KendalPs party was
fought on Beaver Creek Tuesday last. Four

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
Captain shepard's Report on the
Seizures In Behring Sea.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-Captain Shep-
ard, commanding the. revenue steamer
Rush, reports that ON July 9th, in Behring
sea, he seized the British schooner W. P.
Sayward, of Victoria, B. c., with 4S5 seal
skins on board, "a of which were taken in
Behring sea. The vessel was towed to Oun-
alska and the captured skins delivered to
the United States deputy marshal. The
vessel was then sent to Sitka for delivery to
the United States marshal. The crew were
set at liberty. July 18th, Captain Shepard
seized the British steam schooner Dolphin,
with 6lS seal skins aboard. The crew were
seized s.1lus for violating section 1885 Of the Re-
American schooner Lily I of San francisco,
Tor hunting seal in Behring sea. July 17th,
the British steam schooner Grace was seized
for similar violation of the seal fishery
law. All the vessels were sent to Sitka for
prosecution, as was also the British
schooner Anna Beck, previously seized
Coast and Harbor Defences.
Secretary Whitney has stated that he has
been considering the make up of the board
that he is to appoint under the act of Con-
gress appropriating 100000 for coast and
harbor defences; and he had settled in his
own mind who the members should be with
one exception. He intended to place upon
this board, he said, the young officers of
the navy who had been receiving instruc-
tions for three or four years at the English
school at Greenwich and the Polytechnic
School of France by permission of the Brit
ish and French governments. On this sub
ject he remarked that, while he regarded
the Naval Academy at Annapolis the best
school in the world for the education of line
officers, the country has no institutions cor
responding to the English and French
schools for the education of designing and
constructing engineers. The Secretary said
he entertained great expectations from the
introduction of this young blood into the
construction bureau of the department.
The Secretary said that he proposed to
give the. company which is building the
pneumatic dynamite torpedo gun cruiser an
opportunity to show what it could do. For
that purpose he had been looking about for
a target for it. He had plenty of old vessels
on hand. but they generally contained ma
chinery of more or less value, which it
would hardly do to destroy even in so laud-
able cause. He had, therefore, selected an
old schooner belonging to the coast survey
which he had purchased for $500. A suita-
BILE place somewhere in the harbor would be
designated, and on September 10th the COM
pany would have the chance to drop one of
its dynamate shells ON the schooner and peo-
pie would be able to see what the effect
would be,

About the suctouche story.

Dispatches from New Brunswick say the
Buctouche hoax originated in this way:
There has been great deal Of talk among
the fishermen about the presence of Ameri-
can men-of-war in Canadian waters, Secret
airy Whitney's public rebuke to Admiral
Luce, and the sensational reports Of English
war ships being ordered to assist Canadian
cruisers in protecting the fisheries. Some of
the most ignorant of the Canadian fishermen
got so excited over these reports that they
looked for an immediate declaration Of war
between the United States and England.
Early last week 1t appears that one Of the
cruisers stationed In the gulf fired several
shots from her cannon by way Of practice, so
that in case of need she would be able to
handle an obstreperous Yankee fisherman
The booming Of cannon Is phenomenon on
Mlramichi Bay. The reports were heard by
a French Canadian fisherman. Having heard
that the American war ship Yantic was in
North Bay waters, and also that the British
war ships had been ordered to cooperate
with Canadian cruisers, he concluded that
came ashore in great terror with the report
that great battle had been fought between
the American and English squadr0ns.
Canadian cruiser had attempted to capture
Yankee poacher and the Yenkee resisted
and was protected by an American war ship.
A naval combat followed, during which the
American was sunk with all on board. The
people of Buetouehe thought the story was a
huge joke, and some wag undertook to carry
1t further. He telegraphed that the jail at
RichibuctO was full of Yankee prisoners.

The London Daily News, referring today
to the Norwich election, says:
Seldom has any government year after lts
formation, met with such an emphatic rebuff.
The Morning Post Is depressed over the
result and urges the Conservatives TO effect
a better organization. 1t refuses to believe
that the country Is changing its mind In re-
gard 10 home rule.
The Daily Telegraph says:
UniOnlst converts have become perverts, and
abstentionists have returned to their Gladstonian
allegiance.
The paper attributes the result in Norwich
to the weakness of the UnlOnist candidate
and campaign, and begs the UniOnist lead
ers to abandon the belief that IL Is sufficient
TO send a candidate 10 district with their
blessing TO secure victory.
The Standard thinks there Is evidence that
the Irish question is no longer so powerful
lever providing that the minds Of the Union
lists are becoming lulled to a condition OF
false security.
The Times says that the government will
make fatal mistake II they see In the recent
elections any reason for slackening their ef-
forts to cope effectually with the forces Of
disorder In Ireland.

MultItudes Suffering From a Great
Famine In Turkey.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Mr. Drummer, the new
Gladstonian member for Northwich division
OF Cheshire, took his seat In the Commons
To-Day Tor the first time. He received an ova-
tion from the Gladstonltss.
The full significance Of the victory Of Sat.
urday cannot be realized by the mere In
speetion Of figures. II has greater moral
force than Is apparent from the gain of 1857
votes as compared with the last previous
election In that district, and the changing Of
Mr. Brunner's minority Of 66l then 10 a ma
Jority OF 1929 now. The triumph OF the LID
erals lies mainly In the fact that this rever-
sal OF maJorities In their favor has taken
place In the very hOthed Of Conservatism
and under the eyes OF the powerful Duke oil
westminster, whose dominion over the peo-
pie OF that locality Is well nigh as supreme
as that Of feudal baron over his subjects.
The Duke make every effort to secure the
success OF his son, the young Lord
GrosvenOr, but 81 strong Is the under
current OF popular dissatisfaction with
the party In control Of the Govern
ment that even the powerful influence
of the richest nobleman and most extensive
landlord OF the Kingdom was unavalling
against It.. Only those who know the secret
potency OF such influence can properly esti-
mate the Importance Of the result. Both the
Gladstonian and Tory leaders realize it fully,
and the former are eorrespondingly elated,
and the latter as greatly depressed. For, II
IN such distrist gain Of 20 per cent. can be
made, It Is considered beyond a doubt that.
taking the whole country through, a change
OF great magnitude has taken place. This is
a moderate estimate. yet 10 Is sufficient to
give a clean sweep OF the country to the
occurs TO mar their present standing In the
popular esteem.

Admiral Luce Makes a Denial.

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 16-Admiral Luce en-
phatically denies having made use of the
quotation from Shakespeare, "Behold the
great image of authority; dogs obeyed in
Office" in reference to the Secretary Of the
Navy, as published and republished in some
papers. The circumstances under which the
quotation was used were given by the Admi-
raj yesterday as follows: While the flagship
Richmond was at Halifax short time ago,
Admiral Luce spoke of the seizure of the
American schooner Highland Light, which
had been made by one of the smallest Do
minion cruisers, which had found the Ameri-
can fishing within three miles off shore. The
case was so plain that even the owners of the
vessel decided not to protest, and here 1t was
that the remark was made that even had the
entire United States navy been present il
could not have prevented the little cruiser
from seizing the Highland Light. Behold
the great image OF authority; dogs Obeyed
in Office" said the Admiral, referring to the
small cruiser, and in no sense to the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, ut Is but justice to my
self and my profession" said Admiral Luce.

would not be understood as being capable of
